Eagles Auxiliary offers thanks for helping solve mystery
Members of the Eagles Aerie and Eagles Auxiliary present Dale Coffelt with a quilt for his role in helping solve the mystery of Bones, a skeleton once used by the lodge for initiation purposes. The anatomical skeleton is now being used by the Bonner County Coroner's Office to help with identification of bones discovered in the region or brought into the office.

SANDPOINT — When they had a mystery to solve, Dale Coffelt didn't hesitate.
When the Eagles Lodge decided they needed to solve the mystery of the skeleton they'd used in rituals, they turned to the long-time funeral home owner for help. Coffelt pulled in friend Robert Beers, Bonner County coroner.
Add in help from the University of University of Montana's Forensic Anthropology Laboratory, often used by local agencies when bones are found or they need help identifying unknown remains, and soon the Sandpoint fraternal organization had the answers.
